IMPROVED FEED CONVERSION AND PRODUCTIVITY
Feeding zeolite typically results in greater food conversion rates. Animals gain faster with less food. Poultry produce more gradable eggs. Dairy cows provide more milk. Improved indexing (meat quality) has been reported. This may result from better ammonia management. Go to BRZ™ ANIMAL FEED for more detailed information.
BRZ™ FOR DAIRY COWS AND BEEF CATTLE Feed is the most effective point of addition. Many farms have eliminated most of their odor and realized greater animal health, welfare, and production by feeding between ˝ to 2% BRZ™ of the total ration on a weight basis. A 14 x 40 or -40 mesh product should be fed in mash or a -100 mesh should be used to pelletize supplements. Go to BRZ™ FOR RUMINANTS for more detailed information.
BRZ™ FOR HOGS BRZ™ helps solubilize phosphate from dicalcium phosphate and other calcium phosphate sources that enhance bone growth. It reduces the ammonia gas in the barn and compost areas, reducing the odor, and helps control flies. Go to BRZ™ FOR HOGS for more detailed information. BRZ™ FOR HORSES BRZ™ is an excellent stall freshener: one half inch of BRZ™ in a 14+40 size is laid down in the stall after cleaning. It is then reapplied each time the stall is cleaned or at regular intervals on top of the manure. The benefits are: - absorbed moisture creates a drier environment that reduces hoof problems and flies.
- absorbed and held ammonium reduces the source of odor.
- BRZ™ and manure make an excellent soil amendment.

BRZ™ increases solubility of phosphate in birds. The zeolite exchanges the calcium from dicalcium phosphate and makes the phosphate more soluble and better utilized by the bird for bones. The dicalcium phosphate in the feed may be reduced by 50% after testing. The results are: - increased number of gradable eggs
- reduced foot pad burns from phosphorus
- lower mortality
- increased food efficiency value
- increased shell thickness
- lesser antibiotics
- increased production from healthier birds

ODOR AND DUST CONTROL Increasing legislation is mandating the control of odor. The most effective way to control odor is to feed BRZ™ in quantities of ˝% to 2% of the total ration. The BRZ™ exchanges the ammonium cation in the alimentary track before it gases to ammonia and creates odor. MYCO-TOXIN BINDING
The use of BRZ and other zeolites as myco-toxin binders is not recognized by the USDA in the United States. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of zeolites as myco-toxin binders is recognized in many other countries. Literature and studies are pervasive in the United States. Go to BRZ™ ANIMAL FEED for more detailed information. COMPOSTING
The introduction of BRZ™ with the manure, compost, or water that is added to the soil has the added benefit of increasing water retention, holding the nitrogen and other micro-nutrients in the growth zone, providing a medium for the future capture of nitrogen, increasing the ion exchange capacity of the soil, providing potassium and calcium, and enhancing infiltration and aeration of the soil.

BRZ™ helps dry materials and enhances the flow ability of feeds from bins, chutes, and trucks. The use of up to 2 % zeolite allows the pellet mill to be run at higher temperatures. This reduces friction, increases production by up to 35%, and increases gelatinization to make a more durable pellet. Go to BRZ™ PELLET BINDER or BRZ™ ANIMAL FEED for more detailed information. REDUCED NECESSITY FOR ANTIBIOTICS
The use of zeolite in animal feed increases gain and productivity. Antibiotics are not needed to increase gain. In Europe where zeolite is commonly fed, antibiotics are not used. Go to BRZ™ ANIMAL FEED for more detailed information. GROUNDWATER POLLUTION CONTROL
Fixing the nitrogen and various heavy metals reduces the pollution of the groundwater. Go to BRZ™ ANIMAL FEED or BRZ™ AGRICULTURAL USES for more detailed information. aquarium and pond mechanical, chemical, and biological filtration BRZ™ is especially adapted as a direct replacement for sand, sand and anthracite, and multi-media water filtration media. It has a much finer nominal rating (3 to 5 microns) than sand (20 microns), and consequently it filters out more fine particulates. Go to BRZ™ AQUACULTURE USES for more detailed information.
INCREASED ANIMAL WELFARE
Greater animal health creates better animal welfare, better products, greater production, and lessens the usage of antibiotics and medicines that may have lasting adverse effects to the human population. |
